U54 ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY San Diego State University Faculty Unified towards Excellence in Research and Transformational Engagement (SDSU FUERTE) The FIRST program is funded through the NIH Common Fund and managed in collaboration by the National Cancer Institute. The work that will be undertaken through this supplemental funding opportunity is to support the nine-faculty cohort of SDSU FUERTE (a current U54-funded FIRST Cohort awardee) for their travel to and participation in the FIRST Annual Grantees Meetings in Spring 2024, 2025 and 2026. The FIRST Annual Grantees Meeting is a gathering of FIRST MPIs, program staff, NIH staff, and FIRST Faculty to share FIRST grantees goals, progress, and milestones.
